The Inca Dove (Columbina Inca) has gray body feathers with dark edges that have a scaly appearance, when in flight, chestnut wing patches can be seen. The long, squared tail has white edges when it is spread out. The Inca Dove lives in the southwestern United States, Mexico, Central America, and Costa Rica. The Inca dove prefer to eat on platform bird feeders and consume a wide variety of seeds.
The White-winged Dove (Zenaida asiatica) is a large bird that greatly resembles a pigeon. Both sexes appear the same and exhibit dark gray coloration with a rather short, rounded tail tipped in white. Although the white wing patches can be plainly seen while the bird is on the ground, they become even more obvious while in flight. Although this dove is large and rather clumsy on the ground, it is very graceful in the air. It makes a rich, heavy cooing sound that can be easily heard, especially in the early mornings and late evenings.
